LETTER: Liberals, atheist, humanists build house that will collapse

Mr. Lyons, in his article praises Obama for reducing the federal budget deficit. That is like praising Planned Parenthood for reducing poverty rates.

It kind of matters how you accomplish the goal. As everyone knows, one can use all kinds of statistics to prove almost anything.

For example, did you know that playing baseball causes crime? Statistically, nearly 100 percent of people in our prisons played baseball when young.

Reducing the budget deficit is not too difficult to do. Simply raise taxes. Tax revenue is at an all time high. Taking more from our economy is not the way to prosperity.

What progressive/liberals do not seem to get is that wealth must be created, not simple printed into existence. Printing money only reduces the value of each existing dollar. Actually it is theft. Stealing from those who have worked and saved.

Our economy is still stagnant. Unemployment is probably twice what is reported by the current administration. There are more people out of the workforce than in.

The future is not bright. The addition of the Affordable Care Act will further the economic decline. I think the name would more appropriately be the Can't Afford Care Act or CACA.

Would not it have made more sense to cover the 15 percent of the population with a catastrophic plan paid for by Uncle Sam than too force this total revamp of the health care system? It would if the logic was to help the few.

However, if the goal is control, then CACA makes sense. The liberals actually believe that we do not know what is good for us and that they must tell us what to buy and how much.

Notice all the recent comments from Obama about junk health plans? Those evil insurance companies were selling garbage to us poor ignorant masses so our Dear Leader had to save us. Well, I say no thanks.

Hopefully, we can starve this beast, and it will die quickly.

Lest I be accused of threatening the Dear Leader let me be clear that I mean the CACA. I wish a long and happy retirement for Obama, the sooner the better!

When are we going to realize the we are killing this country through Progressive/Liberal policies?

Globalization, out of control oppressive federal government, chipping away at our foundation.

We need leadership that will act to create wealth. Bring jobs home to America. Whose focus is not to redistribute wealth but to create conditions conducive to economic growth. We must stop shipping our money and jobs overseas.

We are simply a cash cow to many nations. They take our money and laugh at us.

I believe in American exceptionalism. I believe that this nation was created with a helping hand from the creator. It's purpose was to be the "city on the hill" that would lead by example.

Our success was due to the foundational principles. A people ruled by the "law written on our hearts." People who had a religious foundation. One founding father said that our system of government was made for a religious population.

The point is that you do not need a large intrusive federal government if the people are faith-based. That is why religious instruction was even encouraged in schools.

Oh, how far we have fallen! People who think like me are ridiculed and now considered dangerous. A relic of the past.

Well, we are in fact dangerous. We are dangerous because we speak the truth and call it like we see it.

Because the liberals and atheists and humanist are building a house on sand and collapse is inevitable.
